(WJW) — The Ohio Department of Health held a press conference Monday afternoon regarding the COVID-19 vaccine myths that have circulated during the pandemic, including those related to fertility.

Dr. Bruce Vanderhof, the chief medical officer of ODH that people may have seen during Governor Mike DeWine’s press conferences in the past months, was present today, along with an obstetrician-gynecologist and urologist, in detail about the vaccine’s safety.
“Unfortunately, the Internet is full of misinformation,” Vanderhof said. “And as this misinformation spreads, it can cause many to worry excessively about receiving COVID vaccines.”

Vanderhof reminded Ohioans of three things: Vaccines can’t give you COVID-19, vaccines don’t contain microchips, and they don’t change your DNA.
He, along with other doctors in the video press conference, also backed up what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had already reported, saying there was no evidence that vaccines affect male or female fertility.
ODH previously released information about vaccine myths versus facts, as shown below (note that children 12 years of age and older can now get the Pfizer vaccine):
